A Tummy Time Quilt for Wyatt!

Wyatt's Tummy Time ready for givingI’m always excited to personally deliver a Tummy Time quilt, especially when it involves holding babies!  Wyatt’s quilt is my favorite Rectangle Strings with a soft flannel backing.  And thanks to this quilt hanging out in my studio before I was able to deliver it, lots of my clients chose Overlapping Looped Spirals for their quilts, too.Wyatt's Tummy Time QuiltThe strings are color and novelties creating a mass of little “I Spy” fun!  Some of the strings are flannel for textures changes.  My Tummy Time quilts are for car rides, floor playing and park days!

Whenever I finish this pattern, I start another, because there are lots of babies out there!  Stay tuned for the next delivery!

Thanks!

Hannah’s Quilt and more Quilt Pictures!

Hannah’s Quilt and more Quilt Pictures!

Hannah's 4 H Lone Star quiltJack‘s cousin, Hannah, made a scrappy Lone Star quilt with the help of her grandma for 4H.  Hannah and family stopped by the studio to take project pictures and watch me quilt some of the quilt.

Lone Star detail quiltingI put the ruler foot and extended base back on my longarm to make the CC around the points of the Lone Star and SID the star and background, the rest is freehand quilting.  Now that my ruler foot is back on, I’ll have to find some more projects for ruler work!

Lone Star background quiltingThe batting is Quilter’s Dream Puff and the thread is two different colors of Superior Rainbows.  When Hannah gets a little taller, maybe I’ll let her quilt on her own quilt like her cousin Jack!

Two Memory “T” Shirt Quilts

ready for giving 1Memory quilt 1It’s fun to make memory quilts and Sue’s collection of shirts were special.  The first quilt uses favorite shirts of all types, including work shirts with pockets and buttons!4 shirt stylesI used an uneven four patch to get the small units together and the little Herky was cut out of another shirt and appliqued on.ready for giving 2Memory quilt 2The second memory quilt uses similar woven, rayon and knit favorites.  To add interest, I made a four patch out of the woven stripe shirts.  The three patch center unit allowed me to use the polo shirt motifs.  I love the wild rayon shirt prints!  As you can see, it doesn’t always have to be a “t”-shirt!

Are you ready to make a “Memory Quilt”?  If not, bring me your shirts and I’ll make it for you!

Thanks, Linda 🙂

Aria’s Hawkeye Rainbow Twister

Aria's Hawkeye Rainbow TwisterWe celebrated Aria’s first birthday last weekend and like Landon, I made a Lil’ Twister for her.  Iowa Hawkeye fabric is perfect for this family and I added a 2 1/2″ border after sewing the twisters together.  This is so fun to make, but I’ll need to get another pack of Kona charms squares to make more!lil twister and itty bitty twister before cuttingHere’s what the quilt looks like before the Lil’ Twister cutting.  The smaller one is the waste squares from Landon’s Lil’ Twister before cutting with the Itty Bitty template.Itty Bitty TwisterHere’s the Itty Bitty Twister sewn together.  The cutting mat grids are an inch and the twisters are about the size of a quarter!  It’s tiny!  This is still in the unfinished phase, I haven’t decided how to quilt and finish it!Me and Aria at her birthday partyAfter playing in the splash pad, we got Aria to cooperate and get a picture of us!  Isn’t she adorable?!  The back of the Lil’ Twister is Hawkeye fabric, too, perfect for a table topper during football season!

Here’s  photo progression of making Landon’s Lil’ Twister quilt, time for you to make one, too!!  If you click on the pictures, there’s a description of the process, too.

Have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!
